Do You Have Joint Custody With A Jerk?

I have read a lot of stepfamily and custody books over the years, trying to find some bit of help for a situation filled with conflict and hate. I came across a book that not only had useful information in it, but made me laugh out loud many times. It stayed on my nightstand for quite a while as a reminder and for a laugh.

My preschooler's school just sent a note home about the H1N1 (swine) flu. To prevent it, it says:

Wash hands with soap and water frequently.

Cover coughs and sneezes.

Keep hands away from face.

Practice social distancing (3-4 feet from others). Good luck with this one and kids. They all congregate in groups.

Stay home if you are sick (at least 24 hours after fever is gone).

Get seasonal flu shot. I'm not sure that is the answer. The vaccine has to be for the exact strain and with viruses mutating constantly, what are the chances that you are vaccinated for the exact strain? I'd like to know that. I'd also question giving my own child a vaccine that hasn't been tested long enough. Given all the health problems and deaths from the Gardasil vaccine, I do not trust Big Pharma or the government right now where it concerns vaccinations.

Wear a mask to prevent spreading to others when ill. They've always done this in Japan. It's something you don't see much of here in the states.

Hand sanitizer should be kept out of reach of all children and used with caution on children who place their fingers/hands in their mouth frequently. Not sure if this is due to the alcohol content or what. I know it used to be a problem.

That's what I have on prevention. For symptoms, click here. Will post more about what to do if you get it later.

Who am I?

I am mom to four children and stepmom to two through 18 years of marriage so far (and counting), who has angrily watched the manipulation of children thru the years that should bring shame to any adult doing so. What is done by one parent to hurt the other parent hurts the children most. This blog is my emotional venting place through blended family chaos. If you don't like honest emotions in a longstanding, difficult situation, you might not like my blog. I'd go find a blog where they have pretty unicorns flying over rainbows if I were you then.

DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN...

Because sometimes you just need to VENT!

I have a series of posts and comments from people in step situations, concerning things they hate about it, whether it be about the ex, the law, whatever. If you'd like to add to it, feel free to comment below one of the posts or email me and I will make a new post when I have several new ones to add. You can remain anonymous in the new post or not. It's up to you!
